Oct. 7

People were talking today about the word "Gloaming", and how good it feels in your mouth to say it. It reminded me of a retired professor I cared for in one of my Adult Foster homes. More than once, while waiting for a meal, she would stare out the window and recite this poem. I could see that she too truly enjoyed saying that word.

In the Gloaming
by Meta Orred

In the gloaming oh, my darling
when the lights are dim and low
And the quiet shadows falling
softly come and softly go

When the trees are sobbing faintly
with a gentle unknown woe
Will you think of me and love me,
as you did once long ago?

In the gloaming oh! my darling
think not bitterly of me?
Tho' I passed away in silence
left you lonely, set you free

For my heart was crush'd with longing,
what had been could never be
It was best to leave you thus dear
best for you and best for me

It was best to leave you thus ..........
Best for you and best for me ......

DAY 3247-- October 7th, 2024

Prompt: forgiveness
“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love.”
Fred Rogers
What do you think about the prompt and/or do you think forgiveness is always a solution to problems?


I want to be forgiven for my misdeeds so my mind tells me I must forgive others for theirs. But sometimes, many times, I find myself not willing to let go.

Does forgiving mean it’s okay with me what happen? I am not okay.

I am not okay with greed or injustice. I am not sorry!

I am NOT open to forgiving a murderous heart.

I can forgive you for your judgements of me because I have made many of them, judgements. But I find it impossible to forgive those who judge others for their life situations. They don’t have a f…..ing clue the desperation, disappointment or situation that say a refugee has faced. My GOD can’t we Americans show some mercy?

As an afterthought, I feel I need to point out that it is unforgivable to judge others for their life situations when they seem to live "higher on the hog" than us. They have their moments of desperation, disappointments and pain too. We don't know where their blessings came from.




So for this week

Then take some time to write something related to this: an outline for a story, a blog entry, a poem, a 500-word story, whatever you wish... just write whatever this song inspires you to write.



To my first Love

Can I be close to you?

No? I don’t want to go through this life alone.

You kissed me like you love me so I don't understand.

Why can't I be close to you?

Day 3241 October 1, 2024

Prompt: Hope
“Hope is a tease, designed to prevent us accepting reality.”
Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey
In what ways do you think hope can or cannot help us to accept reality? Or is hope a totally empty thing, used only to dull the pain?



Maggie saw hope differently than I do.

Hope is more than a carrot on a stick to distract you from reality. Hope transcends earthly worries because it is kicked in the ass by faith. Hope shifts to affirmative KNOWING!

Thoughts are powerful and we are responsible for them. Thoughts unleased can be a destructive storm. But, if even a small flicker of “hope” dulled pain for a micro-nano second, what’s wrong with that? That moment sparks the knowing, never to be undone.
